Anthropology and linguistics, as historically developing disciplines, have had partly separate roots and traditions. In particular
settings and in general, the two disciplines have partly shared, partly differed in the nature of their materials, their favorite
types of problem the personalities of their dominant figures, their relations with other disciplines and intellectual current.
The two disciplines have also varied in their interrelation with each other and the society about them. Institutional arrangements
have reflected the varying degrees of kinship, kithship, and separation. Such relationships themselves form a topic that is
central to a history of linguistic anthropology yet marginal to a self-contained history of linguistics or anthropology as
either would be conceived by most authors. There exists not only a subject matter for a history of linguistic anthropology,
but also a definite need

"Dell Hymes's edited collection of essays, originally published in 1972, brought together a host of leading voices in anthropology
passionate about the need to "reinvent" the discipline in which they were all involved. Having determined that the scientific
approach fostered by anthropologists earlier in the century disavowed the subjectivity inherent in observation, Hymes and
his colleagues called for a more reflexive approach to ethnography. They also sought a solution to the fragmentation that
they felt was splintering their field and proposed a progressive political awareness that embraced a liberatory rather than
a materialistic end. Knowing that there was no single institutional structure or formulated doctrine the could foster this,
they looked within their discipline for answers. Their call to arms: to keep attention focused on the fundamental questions."--BOOK

A landmark volume that revolutionized our understanding of the power and significance of Native stories and storytellers in
North America, "In vain I tried to tell you" showcases the methodology and theory of ethnopoetics. Focusing on the rich Native
storytelling traditions of the Pacific Northwest, Hymes investigates what particular stylistic and linguistic devices and
patterns in oral tales reveal about rhythm and order in the cultures creating them. A breathtaking series of analyses of particular
myths and their relationship to performance forms the centerpiece of this volume. The concluding essays explore Native perspectives
and approaches to stories, highlighting the reasons behind the storytellers' choices of characters, genres, and titles

"Morris Swadesh, one of this century's foremost scientific investigators of language, dedicated much of his life to the study
of the origin and evolution of language. This volume, left nearly completed at his death and edited posthumously by Joel F.
Sherzer, is his last major study of this difficult subject.Swadesh discusses the simple qualities of human speech also present
in animal language, and establishes distinctively human techniques of expression by comparing the common features that are
found in modern and ancient languages. He treats the diversification of language not only by isolating root words in different
languages, but also by dealing with sound systems, with forms of composition, and with sentence structure. In so doing, he
demonstrates the evidence for the expansion of all language from a single central area. Swadesh supports his hypothesis by
""exhibits"" that conveniently present the evidence in tabular form. Further clarity is provided by the use of a suggestive
practical phonetic system, intelligible to the student as well as to the professional.The book also contains an Appendix,
in which the distinguished ethnographer of language, Dell Hymes, gives a valuable account of the prewar linguistic tradition
within which Swadesh did some of his most important work."--Provided by publisher

Eight essays in ethnolinguistics were compiled for this monograph. "Functions of Speech: An Evolutionary Approach" represents
an introduction to the application of linguistic knowledge to the historical and sociological study of peoples. "Speech and
Language: On the Origins and Foundations of Inequality among Speakers" expands on the theme of diversity, inequality, and
evolution, with discussions of writing and of the views of Bernstein and Jurgen Habermas. "Qualitative/Quantitative Research
Methodologies in Education: A Linguistic Perspective" addresses the development of linguistics. The three middle chapters,
"What Is Ethnography?""Ethnographic Monitoring," and "Educational Ethnology," are concerned in complementary ways with what
counts as legitimate knowledge and who is counted as entitled to know. The status of narrative as a form of knowledge is addressed
in "Narrative Thinking and Story-Telling Rights: A Folklorist's Clue to a Critique of Education" (with Courtney Cazden). The
final chapter, "Language in Education: Forward to Fundamentals" weaves together many of the themes of the book, expressing
a concern that an ethnographic or ethnolinguistic perspective not be trivialized and vulgarized. (JB)

In Now I Know Only So Far, sociolinguist and ethnopoetic scholar Dell Hymes examines the power and significance of Native
North American literatures and how they can best be approached and appreciated. Such narratives, Hymes argues, are ways of
making sense of the world. To truly comprehend the importance and durability of these narratives, one must investigate the
ways of thinking expressed in these texts-the cultural sensibilities also deeply affected by storytellers' particular experiences
and mastery of form
